Katai na Itoko! (Honorable Cousins)

Does anyone have any information about or could direct me to a place
where I could find out about period musical instruments and music? I
am particularly interested in the hichiriki, a double-reeded
instrument. I studied oboe for 12 years in school, so I hope it's
something I could pick up easily.

Greetings from Solveig! The hichiriki is a kind of end blown double
reed bamboo flute. It is used for gagaku music. You can find gagaku
music by looking for either gagaku or bugaku. Bugaku is a dance form
associated with gagaku. I may have some very basic references for
this sort of music around here some place.

Hichiriki? Brave men. People have been known to go on murderous rampages at
hichiriki solos.

A wonderful story my old shakuhachi prof told us at FSU:

A heian nobleman returned to his home to find it had been robbed. Everything he
owned -- everything -- was gone. All but his hichiriki, which had been left
lying on the floor. Dejected, he sat down and began playing. The thief heard the
playing, and brought everything back.

One moral says that he was moved by the plaintive notes. Another moral -- the
one most likely -- is that he brought the stuff back to get the guy to stop
playing. <G>

I don't know what they have in the way of Japanese instruments, but I do know
that the House of Musical Traditions in Silver Spring, Maryland, has one of the
widest selections of instruments of all sorts I've ever seen. They currently
also have a shop at the Maryland Renaissance Faire, if you're close by and can
get there. I also know they have a web site, www.musicaltraditions.com. Even
if they don't have one, they probably could find you what you're looking for.
I have seen shakuhachis there.

Well, there once was a guy that attempted to get a set of foam and duct tape
bagpipes authorized. Almost managed to, but the knight marshal managed to
stop laughing long enough to realize they'd make a nice flail.
